Emily sighed and said in a serious tone, “Lacey, you don’t have to defend Zeke anymore. The only reason that anima, Zeke, wants to be with you is all because of excitement. Once he’s tired of playing with you, he’s going to dump you too. Treat this as a wake-up call. Don’t wait until it’s too late or you’ll end up like me.”

Angry tears fell as Lacey said, “Shut up! Don’t you dare insult Zeke!”

At the same time, a worker shouted, “Mr. Hoffman, we tested and found meth in these bottles.”

Harvey raged, “Hmmph! As expected, You’ve been taking drugs in here. Bring them all back for further investigation! Emily Clemons, follow us back too. If what you said is true, I will not hold you responsible for this and I’ll even give you justice.”

Emily was overjoyed, “Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.”

Harvey Hoffman’s men immediately went to arrest Lacey.

Lacey backed away in fear. “You... You’re all obviously working together with Emily! I won’t go. I want to call my lawyer. Before my lawyer arrives, I won’t go with anyone.”

Harvey raged, “Shut up! You’re slandering. I will sue you for defamation. If you don’t cooperate, we’ll have to adopt forceful measures.”


With that, Harvey pulled out handcuffs and a stun baton as he prepared to take Lacey forcefully.

Lacey was in despair. She had a feeling that she wouldn’t receive any response even if she screamed for help.

At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind. Zeke Williams, where on earth are you?

While Lacey was at a loss, an angry roar came from outside the door, “Stop it, all of you!”

Everyone looked over in that direction.

It was Zeke Williams.

Zeke barreled his way through the crowd and squeezed into the room.

Tears streamed down Lacey’s cheeks at the sight of Zeke.

Lacey launched herself into Zeke’s arms and sobbed, “Zeke, you’re finally here! I- I made a mistake. I should’ve listened to you! I shouldn’t have trusted Emily. I’m sorry.”

Zeke’s heart ached as he patted Lacey’s head. “It’s alright, Lacey. Just treat this as a lesson. Don’t worry. No one will bully you now that I’m here.”

Lacey nodded as she stayed in Zeke’s embrace. She didn’t want to leave him.

Logan Hugh was extremely happy at the appearance of Zeke.
